Other claims from this paper (15)
- Intervention effect High BA induced multiple shoots and high hyperhydricity.
- Intervention effect Low BA supported single-shoot growth with relatively low hyperhydricity.
- Observation Hyperhydric cultures varied in glassiness or failed to grow after subculture.
- Observation Shoot tips and upper nodes from slightly hyperhydric shoots often grew normally.
- Observation Lower nodes tended to produce glassy growth.
- Intervention effect Delaying subculture increased hyperhydricity.
- Intervention effect RO medium gave better growth and less hyperhydricity than MS.
- Intervention effect Increasing gelling agent reduced hyperhydricity.
- Intervention effect Mannitol and sorbitol in medium reduced hyperhydricity.
- Intervention effect Vessel aeration reduced hyperhydricity.
- Observation Aeration was relatively superior to other hyperhydricity controls.
- Intervention effect More aeration caused faster medium dehydration and limited growth.
- Intervention effect Combined low BA, osmotic agents, agar and aeration checked hyperhydricity with satisfactory growth.
- Observation The combined approach could restore normal growth in hyperhydric stocks.
- Intervention effect Single-shoot propagation with low BA gave better multiplication and normal plants than multiple-shoot induction with high BA.
